THURSDAY 11th Feb: Restless


Crinkly

Mum:

Thought I would go first today.  So there, Tara!  Just trying to get my story in first, before they publicise their 'take' on the day.  I have noticed how they just seem to ignore facts in favour of dramatic flair, sometimes.

OK, so firstly, it was all a genuine mistake.  I planned a nice walk, and then Auntie Jane called and we arranged to pop over in the evening, to see her and Uncle N.  All good so far.  Only then I thought 'well, if I wear them out with a walk, they won't be much fun for N, will they?  Their over-excited wrangling and tussling are what make the visits.  That and the catfood thieving.  So we cancelled the walk.

They were a bit resless all afternoon, but that was OK.  The high jinks would come later... only they didn't.

The visit was cancelled at the last minute, due to N not feeling very well, and suddenly it was too dark and miserable for a walk, and I had 2 muttlets who were bursting out of their skin...

The 3 Amigos (in a rare moment of peace and togetherness):

Sidney:

We are back on the correct window opening schedule, I am pleased to say.  And it was turkey for tea.  With tinned for breakfast.  I like tinned, but they only give it to me when they have messed up on raw food supplies, so I wonder what went wrong?  Not that I really care.  The jelly is lovely.  I lick it all off the pappy lumps of pretend meat, and then scatter a few lumps around, just to watch Mum pick them up.

 

Cato:

Tara keeps pulling my tail.  There I am, asleep and content, on Mm's lap.  And you can't keep your tail up when asleep, can you?  It is impossible.  And then SHE attacks.  Sometimes, if Mum isn't quick enough to react, she pulls me off onto the floor. 

And she hurt my lip too.  I squeaked really loudly, and then barked and barked and barked at her, until she sniffed the ground to apologise.  I was so angry.  She never knows when to stop.

Mum says we will get a really good walk tomorrow, and she is sorry there was no walk today.  I don't mind.  Well, I would mind less if Tara wasn't around, but I don't mind very much.

No photos of a walk, cos we didn't have one.  So here are some photos of our home.   Some are old, but that is OK.  Not much has changed.

These are our downstairs crates.  We only go into them to drink, and to sleep when Mum and Dad go out and leave us.

This is our doggie door.  It used to be a catflap, but Sidney refuses to use it any more.  So now it is our dogflapdoor.

And this is our upstairs all-night bedroom:

Tara:

Boring day.  But Mum got down on the floor and we wrestled for ages, until my tooths accidently touched her in a hurty place, and we stopped playing, for ages!  I tried to play with Cato, but he ended up just lying on the floor with a toy in his mouth, which got boring too.  So I went outside and barked.  And chased Sidney back upstairs.  And then Mum sat on the floor again and we played tug of war, and not-fetch, and wrestling. 

Oh and we had a bridge-of-nose face trim too.  I was good, cos I love staring into Mum's eyes, but Cato doesn't so he got more treats than me, which isn't fair.  I NEED more treats on account of being bigger.  But bigger treats would work too.  More and bigger treats would be best, of course.

Uh oh! They are plotting something naughty mom. Just look at that first picture of all three sitting there nicely. It's in the eyes you see...devilment..... Especially Sidney cat, he's still plotting :hysterical:.....Fooling you into a false sense of security. 

Sounds like you had your hands full yesterday with all that pent up energy...maybe today you can get outside Cato and Tara. Paws crossed

lol, yes indeed.

He was sitting behind the curtains in the sun when I opened them, and then started screeching for breakfast.  Most suspicious.  I wonder if one of his usual snack spots (in other houses, through other catflaps) has gone away.

Notice how Cato was keeping an eye on him.  Cato has a deep and wary respect for Sidney, ever since Sidney taught him some manners way back in early puppyhood.  Some lessons stick, eh?

:coffee: Don't know what I would do without my morning read of Cato, Tara and Sidney. 

 

Cato and Tara

Sorry to hear you were not able to take your walk yesterday. It was nice here in the afternoon and Mom and Poppy took us out late afternoon. Mom got mad because we didn't listen to her she calls us A BUNCH OF WILD ANIMALS......we couldn't help ourselves the smells were coming from everywhere. I went one way and I could hear Mom calling BAILEY....but heck my nose need a fix and the smells were wonderful.......but I had to listen because Mom threaten to take us all back to the house. I was slow in the return because I had to water all the new trees on my way back to the family. We walked the creek....Mom watches us like a hawk cause she thinks one of us is going to fall in........but the smells are awesome and all of us gather around this one tree and we were all just sniffing away. Then we headed back to the house Me, Sophie and Allie did our chasing each other and had loads of fun.......then Mom went into a panic because Winnie was no where to be found .....she had gotten ahead of us and we found her laying on the back porch sunning herself waiting on us...........Hope you get your walk today......we are suppose to have snow again today so I think we will be inside for the day.

Mum says (says Cato) that the catflap doggie door was one of the reasons why she wanted me and Tara to come and live with her.

She says that she had lived with Sidney and Toed (another cat) for so long, and was used to them doing their own toilet visits, that she thinks dogs should be able to do the same.  So we have a SAFE garden, and the doggy door, and Mum doesn't have to come outside with us for every tinkle.

If we had been bigger, we wouldn't have fitted through the door, and she would have had to let us out every time.  She says she is too lazy to do that. 

But it means Tara can go out and bark when she likes.  Dad says the doggy door is a MIXED BLESSING.
